A Remainder of One

This is a great book to teacher remainder. It has great illustrations.

great book

This is a cute book and it can even be used to help children understand division. I feel sorry for the little remainder of one, it is a very cute book. My 5 year old loved it!

Good introduction to division

"A remainder of one" is a good introduction to division. Second graders enjoyed the story yet the concept of division was too advanced for them. Third graders were intrigued by the explanation of division through out the book. The ants lining up row after row, making all rows even, was a great visual tool for third graders to understand the idea of division and remainders. Overall a good book to read- it keeps the students intrigued and keeps them thinking.

It can be read again and again

I read this book to my seven year old nephew and he loved it. He wants me to read the book to him everytime I see him! He even asked if he could take it to school with him. I thought that the way it was worded made it enjoyable for me as much as it was for him. I'm not sure that he totally understood the idea of math in the story but hopefully when he starts working with remainders he will recall this book. Pima Community College StudentMath 146
